A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, with blunt terminals and minimal stroke modulation. Curved letters like C, O, and S read as superelliptical shapes rather than pure circles, while straight-sided forms keep firm verticals and broad horizontals. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with a single-storey a and g and a short-armed t; joins and corners stay softened, keeping the texture smooth despite the mass.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense weight and rounded-rect geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, packaging, storefront graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or buttons when a strong, friendly presence is desired, but its tight counters and heavy color make it less ideal for extended small-size text.
The tone is loud and confident, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners and inflated proportions. It suggests bold headlines, energetic branding, and a slightly retro, poster-like attitude rather than a quiet editorial voice.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a soft-edged, geometric voice—combining assertive width and mass with rounded corners to keep the impression approachable. The letterforms prioritize simple, sturdy silhouettes that remain recognizable and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Round letters carry a distinctly squared bowl, giving the face a stable, almost rubber-stamp solidity. The numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with large interior cut-ins and simplified shapes that favor impact over delicacy.
